The main concept behind Jaba is to provide our clients with the opportunity to learn Japanese language skills and more about the uniqueness and beauty of Japan. Knowing that it is a battle to find the right school at an affordable price, we have put together a curriculum and instructor staff that is focused on the highest quality level at a significantly reduced price in relation to the market. Our overall goal is to help our clients enhance their quality of life in Japan through improved language skills and cultural understanding in both the workplace and the community.

“I decided to have lessons at Jaba as I wanted to be able to speak, read and write Japanese professionally. I found the lessons extremely beneficial and would highly recommend Jaba to you. The lessons have given me confidence, enjoyment and have made me feel highly motivated to achieve my goal.”

“In the beginning, what now feels like a long time ago, a friend recommended taking the Jaba lessons. He said they were fun, convenient and more affordable than anything else he had tried in the past. When I joined I found this to be true and so I have been recommending all of my friends to also start Jaba classes.
The curriculum is relevant. The teachers are friendly and fun. They are willing to adapt to the clients’ personalities and interests and listen to their requests regarding pace, corrections and activities you undertake in class.”

"The class times are really convenient and manageable if you work, and because each course has a twice a week lesson schedule, there is time to do homework, review and put what you learned into practice out in the real world. The pace is especially good for people who have English as their first language (although the lessons are of course all in Japanese). Jaba also helps you decide which class is right for you. Most of us are language teachers, so we know which level we feel comfortable with and it's good to have that respect afforded us (instead of being pushed into classes which are too difficult or too fast paced). All the staff are very easy to talk to and flexible and will always try to find the best solution to any problems or questions you have!"

"I have been studying at Jaba for almost a year now. I started in the Crash Japanese class and had a blast learning katakana and hiragana. I take my hat off to the great instructors I have had, and they all have been so patient with me as I have stumbled through the kana and grammar!
I am now taking a high beginner and kanji class and am really motivated to be a better communicator. It was so worth the effort and commitment and there is so much genuine satisfaction in learning. I get a real kick out of making full sentences and being able to write in Japanese and to learn about Japanese culture from my instructors."
